Sisters. We had our ups and downs in life. But the bond between sisters is never broken. Rosemary cannot be with me now. But her memories will always be in my heart. She is just away.

Uncle Gene, Aunt Rose was truely the craziest aunt I had. I loved her hats, the stories of all the things she did with her dolls and pets. I remember her "Good Morning" S. St. Paul story and when sometimes someone would answer back. Thanks you for all the great memories Aunt Rose & Uncle Gene Love you bunches

Who couldn't love Rosie. She had the wonderful ability to always make a person laugh, to see the brighter things in life.
Although we only knew her for a short time, she made us always feel as if we were part of her family - life long acquaintances. Thank you Rosie for inviting us in!
May God watch over Gene and your family.
Walk in peace Rosie, we will miss you always.
And just one more thing Rosie - "Easy on the cake fights". :'D

Gene

You and your family have our deepest
sympathy.

I was so fortunate to have met and
worked with Rosemary through the
Employees Club. We will always
remember her fun personality and being the life of the party.

You two were an example of a happy loving couple. These are good memories to have.

I worked with Rosemary at the Pioneer Press for many years, and later (after she retired) served as a volunteer with Rosemary on the Pioneer Press Employees Club. Rosemary was just the most delightful person I have ever known. She loved to have fun and was always the life of the party. She lived such a marvelous life, filled with great adventures. She and Gene were one of the all-time great couples, really enjoying eachother's company. Gene, I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Rosemary, I will miss you very much. I wish you peace and joy in heaven.
